Elusion

by Chrystal Für

supported by

williegarvin99 Heartfelt, and deeply, deeply moving music that stirs the emotions in powerful ways. Thoughtful and considered, it shows great depth of talent and creative spirit. The sort of artist destined to grow exponentially, so get on board now. One of this year’s unexpected treasures. Favorite track: I’ll Rise At Dawn Once More (feat. Echo Collective).

Lyle Beers Beautiful and deep. I love the variety of timbres and crafted sounds and the shape of each tune. I want to call it progressive ambience, but it transcends labels.

about

"If you listen closely, you can hear the many influences of the Icelandic present classical music scene, including that of the late Jóhann Jóhannsson, who, through his music, we will never truly lose...I think you’re going to love this record, folks! Highly recommended!"
- HEADPHONE COMMUTE

"The transcendent spirit of the music...reaches from the somber depths of solastalgia toward the heavens and hope for the future."
- STATIONARY TRAVELS

"Elusion has a contemporary feel yet still manages to have something of a timeless quality to it, reflecting a wide spectrum of musical influences. Most of the cuts on this release evoke a mood of reflection, of pondering the joy and beauty to be found in everyday life. It is music at once soothing and inspiring, but with more substance than what you would find in the New Age category. A fascinating release, well worth an audition."
- CLASSICAL CANDOR

"His utterly engrossing and profoundly beautiful new album, Elusion, arrives at the tail end of the month"
- CAST THE DICE

"The apex of the album, “I’ll Rise At Dawn Once More”, is produced and performed by Echo Collective (Stars of the Lid, Jóhann Jóhannsson, A Winged Victory for the Sullen, Erasure). It is a stirring string tribute to emerging from turbulence into the elation of a new day. There is an emotional weight and otherworldly quality to the journey the album takes you on—it is at once a validation and salve for hearts that are hurting in our era."
- FLUID RADIO

"Moving like the warm Mexican sun which birthed this musical project, the album moves as one like a breeze following the sun on its daily passage. Bringing with it the energy of life and, upon its setting, an eternal promise of tomorrow."
- FRISSON

"As with Bowie, there is a play with the metallic dimension of sound, with dissonance and discomfort but also with sweet climates. As in Low, the share is largely given to electronic tones and vibrating arpeggios like waves which never cease to be lost at the water's edge. Chrystal Für's music has something concentric and circular like an inverted labyrinth."
- BENZINE MAGAZINE

“It shouldn’t be surprising that Vibberts has a lengthy and esteemed career soundtracking film, and he takes that experience with him on the droning beauty, cautious texturing and post-classical spirit of this fascinating record.”
- TAKE EFFECT

"Beginning with the otherworldly 'Requiem', which undulates like a calm sea of piano, drone, ambient noise and static textures, 'Elusion' explores the notion of solastalgia, or the distress caused by environmental change. The tone remains resolutely hopeful though."
- ELECTRONIC SOUND MAGAZINE

"Speaking from a classical music standpoint, the album is immensely satisfying... it’s a remarkable piece of work that’s absolutely sublime to listen to."
- SCENE POINT BLANK

Chrystal Für recommends:

Clouded Yellow
by Kronos Quartet & Michael Gordon

Clouded Yellow is a beautiful new Michael Gordon album with Kronos Quartet. On non-stop since it came out! Mesmerized by the haunting, slowly disintegrating loop of a child's voice on The Sad Park. Chrystal Für

The Tired Sounds of
by Stars of the Lid

Gorgeous ambient album from Stars of the Lid. I could listen to Requiem for Dying Mothers, Part 2 on loop for days. This is their album I keep coming back to. Ethereal, yet digs deep into the soul. Chrystal Für

Neroli (Thinking Music Part IV) (Expanded Edition)
by Brian Eno

Beautiful ambient album from master Eno. Neroli is on my speakers when I need something gentle, meditative, and drifting. New Space Music is a welcome hour long bonus track that adds a little grit. Chrystal Für
